P YROXYtlNE SOLVENT AND ITS COMPOUNDS.-

SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 507,964, dated October 31,1893. Application filed August 2 2, 1893- Serial No. 483,765. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, CHARLES L. BURG- MEYER, of the city of Rahway, county of Union, and State of New Jersey, and LEONARD PAGET, of the city, county, and State of New York, citizens of the United States, have invented certain new and" useful Improvements in Pyroxyline Solvents and their Compounds, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. 7

Our object is to provide a metal lacquer which shall have the properties essential to the yielding of a perfectly even, transparent and firm coating after its application either by dipping or with a brush.

We have jointly applied for Letters Patent the application bearing Serial No. 482,681, and filed August 8, 1893, for an aceto-acetic ether, such as ethyl or amyl aceto-acetate, as a solvent of pyroxyline, and one of us, namely, Leonard Paget, has applied for Letters Patent for an ozonized menstruum fora pyroXyline solution, viz: Serial No. 482,249, filed August 3, 1893, and we now describe and make known that we have discovered that a lacquer for metals and similar surfaces of a very high standard of quality can be prepared by continuing these aforesaid ingredients, with others, in suitable proportions. To form, for instance, a lacquer drying evenly at ordinary atmospheric temperature, we take of acetoacetate of amyl twenty gallons, of ozonized fusel oil five gallons, of wood alcohol five gallons, and of benzine fifteen gallons; and there in we dissolve twenty pounds of pyroxyline. For the aceto-acetate of amyl alone, we may substitute a mixture of ten gallons aceto-aeetate of amyl and ten gallons of acetate of amyl, but the former mixture or solvent is preferable.

Having described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

As an article of manufacture a metal lacquer which consists of pyroxyline dissolved in a mixture of aceto-acetate of amyl, ozonized fusel oil, Wood alcohol and benzine.
